Abandoned rails, Georgetown

Abandoned rails, Georgetown.

 

Shot hand-held with a Sony NEX7 and the SEL1018 ultra wide zoom.

 

The streets of Georgetown are largely paved with setts -- often mistakenly referred to as 'cobblestone' -- sett stones are quarried and shaped to form a more even roadway, and are a more 'modern' method -- but still as old as Roman roads. Sometimes described as 'Belgian blocks'.

 

The rails are long abandoned, and in some instances recently returned for appearance's sake.
